What do you mean I'm a ghost story?

Chapter 65 Battle Against the Ironclad Cavalry
"Your [Overlord Halberd Technique] senses the aura of a powerful opponent and is brimming with fighting spirit. Requesting permission to engage in battle!"

"Your [Iron Head Skill] sensed the presence of the nightmare and suddenly awoke."

In that brief moment of danger, two familiar notification messages flashed by.

Xia Qing only managed to glance at it at that moment.

Since it's right in front of my eyes and appears whenever I want, it can't really be called a distraction.

I only gave it a cursory scan.

Both are pieces of pleasant good news.

First, it was confirmed that the heavily armored cavalrymen did indeed meet the requirements of the Overlord Halberd Technique.

This was also the main purpose of his trip, so he was naturally satisfied and happy.

And the Iron Head Kung Fu is an even bigger surprise.

I have finally awakened this defensive martial art.

If the head, the most fatal weakness, could be removed, the survival ability could be increased several times over.

After all, apart from a headshot, only a few other wounds, such as the heart, can cause immediate fatal damage.

With a cotton-padded body and a full set of bulletproof heavy armor, one will be fearless even in the face of a hail of bullets.

The only pity is that one or a type of nightmare can only awaken one martial art.

It would be even more perfect if Drunken Fist could also be awakened along with it.

He wanted both, and there was no question of which was better or worse. Regardless of which one he obtained, he would be satisfied but also inevitably feel some regret for not being able to obtain the other.

However, the time to worry about these things is not the time to be concerned or dwell on them when facing battle.

After just a casual glance, Xia Qing calmed herself down and focused her gaze on the distance.

"Are you going to go empty-handed? Do you want to bring some weapons? I can't do long weapons or nightmare weapons, but I do have daggers."

Seeing that Xia Qing's hands were empty, Ling Shuang kindly asked her a question.

"No need, you keep it for self-defense, I'll just take whatever I want."

Xia Qing simply waved her hand and stood tall in the middle of the road.

clatter! clatter! clatter! clatter!
The crisp sound of horses' hooves echoed once again in the night sky and the thin mist.

Once again, the horseman in full armor rode his warhorse, pacing as he emerged from the thin mist at the edge of the road.

"We didn't have many heavy cavalry like this in our history. The armor and patterns look a lot like the Iron Pagoda of the ancient Jin army! Be careful!"

This time, Ling Shuang finally got a clear look at the human-shaped tank-like cavalrymen and immediately gave a warning.

Xia Qing didn't say anything, but simply raised her hand and made an OK sign.

Da da da! Da da da!
At this moment, the Ironclad Cavalry also raised their lances and silently launched another charge.

His face was covered by a double-layered helmet, and his whole body was like an iron fortress. Even his warhorse was covered in metal armor.

Add to that the charge that accelerates to its maximum speed in an instant, and the heavy, continuous sound of hooves.

It was practically a humanoid tank that was attacking in a frenzy.

Previously, even sitting in the car, I didn't dare to confront his sharp edge.

At this moment, Xia Qing stood alone, empty-handed, in the middle of the road, facing the charging metal fortress.

Ling Shuangguang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat just looking at it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Ironclad Pagoda was getting closer and closer, and the sound of its armor swaying and the sound of its hooves had become a deafening roar.

Xia Qing remained standing tall, as if her mind had been captivated by that terrifying aura.

until.

Ding!
A black card with gold trim appeared out of nowhere.

Give it a flick.

The card then leaped lightly into the air, hovering there for a very brief moment.

Xia Qing raised her hand to the front of the card, as if to hold it.

As he slowly moved forward, a long pole seemed to be slowly drawn out of the card.

Fang Tian draws a halberd!

He wields a halberd with one arm, and casually twirls it with graceful movements.

The Ironclad Pagoda, carrying the roar of armor plates and the momentum of its charge, roared in.

He simply turned to the side casually. With a flick of his halberd, he swept it up and hooked it.

The halberd gleamed with golden light.

It is sharper than any ordinary weapon.

Like slicing butter, it easily grazed the horse's legs, which were the only ones not covered by armor because they could not be used to hinder movement.

Ouch!
The armored warhorse that brushed past immediately cried out in pain.

Its hind leg broke instantly, causing it to stumble and fall.

boom!
The heavily armored knight on horseback also crashed to the ground, slid several meters away, headfirst onto the ground.

"kill!"

After stopping, the Ironclad Pagoda instantly flipped over and stood facing up, letting out its first battle roar as it attacked with its spear.

"Well done!"

Xia Qing, equally eager to hunt, did not flinch and charged forward with his halberd.

The moment they clashed, they immediately sensed a difference.

This Ironclad Cavalry is absolutely the elite of the elite.

Despite being clad in heavy armor, his reactions were remarkably swift.

His techniques are simple and unpretentious, yet they always strike at the vital points, forcing the enemy to defend themselves.

Every move he made exuded a ruthless and bloodthirsty killing intent and a fierce struggle of exchanging injury for injury.

Its power was astonishing, with layers of force emanating from its attacks.

This is a typical method of warfare and killing.

There were no frills, no fancy maneuvers.

Only dangerous clashes between swords and spears, back and forth.

Clang! Clang! Block! Clang! Clang!
The lance and heavy armor were clearly not ordinary items.

Xia Qing's halberd, which was wielded with a golden light that was no less powerful than the Demon-Slaying Halberd, did not gain much advantage in the conflict.

This is definitely the toughest opponent he has ever faced.

And it doesn't possess the bizarre abilities found in other nightmares.

It was real combat skills, a clash of weapons.

That aura of elite warriors who survived countless battles, that fierce and ruthless spirit that can only be honed on the battlefield.

It not only made the Overlord Halberd Technique go wild, but even Xia Qing himself couldn't help but feel his blood boil.

Fight, fight, fight!
The stronger the enemy, the more domineering and fierce his Overlord Halberd Technique becomes.

In terms of skill and technique, he is definitely far superior to the Ironclad Cavalry.

After all, one is a basic technique honed through countless battles, while the other is a inherited skill combining the strengths of a peerless warrior and a hundred weapons.

But the Ironclad Cavalry were no less fierce and brave, and they were also heavily armored, often making them even more ferocious than Xia Qing.

He is armored and possesses the body of a nightmare, making it extremely difficult to kill him with a single blow even without dodging or evading.

Xia Qing, however, was only made of mortal flesh and wore only a light sweatshirt, with no protection whatsoever.

Faced with the Ironclad Pagoda's fighting style of trading injury for life, they were naturally somewhat hampered.

In terms of strength, he was ultimately inferior to the Ironclad Cavalry, unlike the strange creature with its heavy armor all day long.

For a time, it was difficult to see any advantage, and it was like walking on a knife's edge, with danger lurking everywhere.

However, in this evenly matched and stressful battle, Xia Qing, filled with passion, completely forgot his fear of defeat and death, and seemed to enter a state of flow.

In the heat of battle, they were completely focused, easily unleashing their full potential and forgetting the passage of time.

Finally, the Overlord Halberd Technique became increasingly fluid, even using the halberd as a substitute for the hand, employing some of the pushing and entanglement force and the method of using the opponent's force against them in the hooking, blocking and entanglement.

The domineering halberd technique added an extra layer of unwavering, inescapable force.

"die!"

Suddenly, the fighter jet vanished in a flash.

Xia Qing swung his halberd upwards, knocking away the spear in Tie Futu's hand. He then swung it around in a wide arc, before thrusting his spear back, carrying a surge of golden light, straight through Tie Futu's throat.

"Your [Overlord Halberd Technique] broke through in the heat of battle, slaying an enemy general and instantly gaining enlightenment to the divine power: Charge!"

　Asking for a monthly ticket~
　　Additionally, the explanation for the lack of response to the alarm was omitted when the Mirror Demon storyline ended. It was revised a couple of days ago but I forgot to mention it. Those who are concerned or interested can take a look at some revisions and additions in Chapter 56. It's not a big deal if you don't read it, as it's not crucial.
